Porthos Bisque - Curio Scale

Porthos is my sculpture of an American Percheron stallion.  This first version has a short docked tail and mane braid that will have upright ribbons called mane flights added down his neck once completed.  I have molded and cast him myself.  Curio is a large 'mini' in size about 4 inches tall.  This first proof is to test my mold and see if I need to make any detailing or other adjustments before I pour rubber to mold my plaster mold pieces for further production casting.   I will be making and glazing many versions of this piece in many colors and various draft horse breeds.  I will also be swapping out other manes and tail styles and because I have molded and cast him in pieces for assembly, I can also sculpt, mold and cast alternate necks, body, legs, etc for more action poses.   A larger 'traditional' scale version is also being molded and cast in ceramics.  I will produce them in earthenware, porcelain, and English fine bone china in small editions.  Pieces have the option of having bases or be free standing.  Porthos is copyrighted 2023 by Hyn Patty.  See more of my work at hynpatty.com
